Virgin offers 'VIP' pack for £85 a month

Virgin Media, the relaunched company combining NTL-Telewest and Virgin Mobile, has already started signing up customers for its new 'Very Impressive Pack'.

The new bundled package, costing £85 a month, includes the landline call packages Talk Unlimited, Talk International, and Talk Mobile; 'XL' size broadband of 10Mb downstream; the 'XL' TV package plus all Sky Sports and Movies channels. The equipment provided includes a V+ high-definition personal video recorder and a second standard set top box for another room.

Virgin claims that customers will save around £37 a month compared to the cost of buying each component separately.

A number of DS users have been offered the package already by the company's call centre operators and are discussing it here.

The package will be officially unveiled along with the new Virgin Media brand at a press conference in central London tomorrow (Thursday) morning.
